What is Statistics? Why do we need to study statistics? What are the uses of statistics in our daily lives?

Statistics is a scientific body of knowledge which deals with the collection, organization, presentation,
interpretation, and analysis of data.

 The study of statistics is important because society frequently organizes and expresses data numerically.
We are exposed to statistics every day from weather predictions, newspaper ads, election results,
surveys, etc.
 Statistics is used in business to observe patterns and behaviors of sales, forecast trends, and project
future economic activity. It is also used in the areas of finance, marketing, production, promotion
and advertising.
 In medicine, statistics is used to evaluate the effectiveness of newly- formulated medicines. It is used to
determine the effects of certain treatments to human behavior.
 In school, statistics is used to determine the effectiveness of a teaching strategy through analysis of test
scores of students. It is also used to identify enrolment figures, rate of absenteeism of students, IQ
scores of students, results of standardized tests, and many more.
 In government, statistics is used to assess the opinions and preference of the public on issues or
even on candidates during election.

What is data?

 Data are facts, or a set of information or observations under study. Data are gathered from a
population or from a sample. Data may be classified as quantitative or qualitative.

 Qualitative data are data which can assume values that manifest the concept of attributes. These
are categories which differ according to the characteristics they possess. These data cannot be
meaningfully added, subtracted, multiplied or divided. Date of birth, code number, zip code,
telephone numbers are examples of qualitative data.

 Quantitative data are data which are numerical in nature. They indicate how much of a given
characteristic an individual, object, or event possesses. These data can be subjected to arithmetic
operations. Data such as age, weekly allowance, height, size of family are examples of quantitative
data.

 A variable is a quantity which may take on different values. It is a characteristic of a population or


a sample which makes the members different from each other. Variables can either be discrete or
continuous.

 A discrete variable is a variable whose values are obtained through the process of counting. These
are variables that can assume finite number of values. Examples are the number of chairs in the
classroom, the number of teachers in the school, the number of pots in the hallway.

 A continuous variable is a variable that does not fall under the category of discrete. These are
variables that can be obtained through the process of measuring. Continuous variables can assume
any value within a specified interval or range. Examples are height, weight, time and temperature.
